Sette Ponti

Dunkle Früchte bilden das Rückgrat seines Duftkörpers, dem ein maßvoll dosiertes blumiges und balsamisches Parfüm zusätzlichen Reiz und Frische verleiht. Kohärent der dichte Geschmack, der entspannt seine Würze verströmt und dabei ein feines Tanninraster offenbart. (superiore.de)

"Lots currants, blueberries, vanilla and floral character on the nose and palate. Full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Edgy contrast of acidity, ripe fruit and wood. Stylish, savory and delicious. A blend of sangiovese and merlot. One of the best values amongst Super Tuscan reds." James Suckling

"Dusty, gravelly and brambly complexity on the nose. Focussed, structured palate with a flavourful, sweet ripe red berry core. Silky, seamless tannins which perfectly complement the juiciness. Long, fresh and fruity finish." Decanter

Crognolo 2010 in perfekter, kraftvoller Eleganz. Rubinrot, mit einem raumgreifenden Bouquet - warm und würzig mit Nuancen von Vanille und Kaffee. Man schmeckt die dichte dunkle Beerenfrucht, feine Röst- und Tabakaromen begleiten den Abgang. (superiore.de)

"Dark, purple red with violet hue. Youthful character with pure fruit and hints of minerality. On the palate well structured with good balance and length." Markus del Monego

"The 2010 Crognolo, a Sangiovese/Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, jumps from the glass with juicy dark cherries, savory herbs, licorice and new leather. The Crognolo is quite a bit more extroverted than the Poggio al Lupo. At the same time, the Crognolo retains plenty of focus and energy. Expressive floral and balsamic-infused notes add lift on the close." Antonio Galloni

"A wine with currant, spices and hazelnut character. Full body, with well-integrated tannins and a long finish. Chewy and rich. Consistently outstanding." James Suckling

Glänzendes, tiefes Rubinviolett. Kompakte Nase mit intensiven Noten nach dunklen Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren und Tabak, spannendes Spiel. Zeigt Wärme und Feuer, saftige, satte Frucht und entfaltet sich mit feinkörnigem, dichtem Tannin und endet mit einem furiosen Finale nach edler dunkler Schokolade. (superiore.de)

"Tenuta Sette Ponti's 2012 Oreno is a very different wine compared to its 2011 predecessor. This was also a warm vintage, yet the fruit is more masculine and sober in this vintage. The wine shows harder lines and a more determined style with shapely tannins and long flavors of dark spice, blackberry and bitter chocolate." Robert Parker

"The 2012 Oreno is dark, powerful and voluptuous. A host of black cherry jam, mocha, spice and violet open up in the glass, all propelled by a real sense of power. The tannins are broad and intense, so readers will have to give the 2012 at least a few years to settle down. Super-ripe, explosive and concentrated, the Oreno is one of the more overt wines of the vintage." Antonio Galloni

"This is perfumed, sinewy and taut, boasting cherry, black currant, earth, wild herb and tobacco aromas and flavors. The tannins are assertive, but this shows balance overall, as well as a saline mineral element on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Fabulous aromas of blackberries, orange peel, raspberries and citrus. Violets, too. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a light, dusty texture. It’s so fine, beautiful, racy and refined. Very structured but also soulful and inspiring. There’s a new refinement to this wine as the winemakers search for a truly beautiful expression of the terroir." James Suckling

Dunkelrot und sehr kompakt, dringt aus der Tiefe seines noch jungen Dufts zunächst eine Frucht von vorzüglicher Reife an die Oberfläche, gefolgt von hintergründigen balsamischen und würzigen Nuancen. Viel Tanninkraft offenbart der äußerst konzentrierte und voluminöse Geschmack mit dem langen, komplexen Finale. Die wundervolle Harmonie zwischen seinen Komponenten gewährleistet, dass der Wein sich hervorragend entwickeln wird. (superiore.de)
